MOSCOW, April 27 (Reuters) - Russia will look for ways to overcome what it regards as any illegal sanctions the European Union imposes on its liquified natural gas (LNG) operations, the Kremlin said on Suturday.
The European Commission's next sanctions package is expected to propose restrictions on Russian liquefied natural gas for the first time, including a ban on trans-shipments in the EU and measures on three Russian LNG projects, three EU sources said on Thursday.
Kremlin spokesman Dmitry Peskov said any new EU restrictions would benefit the United States and would mean European industry pays more for its gas. (Reporting by Reuters Editing by Andrew Osborn)
